OK this is going to upset some reminers...but its time to be honest. The #PeoplesVote campaign has lost - & no not because it was badly done or even the wrong strategy, but for one simple reson - the Conservative party & British society it represented in 2015 no longer exists.

The problem with the #PeoplesVote was that it imagines a pre2016UK.
But right now the Tories are starting to purge not just proEUers but insufficiently pro #Brexit MPs.
In other words Tory MPs in next parliament will be far more pro-Brexit than now. If by some miracle UK.....

If by some miracle UK is still in EU by next parliament, the Tories will be fighting to leave even harder under a nationalistic party supported by mostly hardcore pro no deal membership with a significant number of exUKIP entryists.

& if Labour are in power they will be led by a PM who at best is lukewarm on the EU. But it will be even harder to fight against the Tories in opposition while advocating remain than vice-versa.
If #brexit we’re to be stopped it has be done now. And we’re almost out of time.

but for remainers there is one thread of hope still, & one many people don’t talk about...the EUs preference.
Come 30th March the EU could if so inclined insist on an extension being longer than many assume-say a year - this is the only way a #PeoplesVote could creep back in..
